	Molecule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Molecular chemistry is concerned with the laws governing the interaction between molecules that results in the formation and breakage of chemical bonds, while molecular physics is concerned with the laws governing their structure and properties.
		The empirical formula of a molecule is the simplest integer ratio of the chemical elements that constitute the compound.
		Molecular spectroscopy is the study of the response (spectrum) of a molecule to a signal characterized by its tunable frequency (or, according to Planck formula, its energy).

	Chemical formula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A chemical formula (also called molecular formula) is a concise way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound.
		Its chemical formula can be rendered as CH If there were a double bond between the carbon atoms (and thus each carbon only had two hydrogens), the chemical formula may be written: CH, and the fact that there is a double bond between the carbons is assumed.
		In chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical is a simple expression of the relative number of each type of atom or ratio of the elements in it.

		Formulas of compounds are used in writing the equations (see chemical equations) that represent chemical reactions.
		Other groups are also shown in molecular formulas, e.g., the water molecules in the mineral chalcanthite (blue vitriol), which consists of cupric sulfate atoms to each of which are attached five water molecules.
		The semistructural formula for dimethyl ether may be written CH Here the O is placed between the two carbon atoms to show that the carbons are bonded to the oxygen.

	Molecular Mass
		In theory, the relative molecular mass or molecular weight of a compound is the mass of a molecule of the compound relative to the mass of a carbon atom taken as exactly 12.
		In practice, the molecular mass, MM, (molecular weight, MW) of a compound is the sum of the atomic masses (atomic weights) of the atomic species as given in the molecular formula.

		The empirical formula is the formula for a compound that contains the smallest set integer ratios for the elements in the compound that gives the correct elemental composition by mass.
		Of course formulas are generally expressed in terms of integers, and the empirical formula is the smallest ratio of integers that yields the correct atom ratio.
		The molecular mass of the compound is provided; use this value and the empirical formula to determine the molecular formula for the unknown compound.

	Molecular Structure & Bonding
		When discussing structural formulas, it is often useful to distinguish different groups of carbon atoms by their structural characteristics.
		In the formula on the right all four 1º-carbons are structurally equivalent (remember the tetrahedral configuration of tetravalent carbon); however the central formula has two equivalent 1º-carbons (bonded to the 3º carbon on the left end) and a single, structurally different 1º-carbon (bonded to the 2º-carbon) at the right end.
		Although structural formulas are essential to the unique description of organic compounds, it is interesting and instructive to evaluate the information that may be obtained from a molecular formula alone.

	The Importance of Structural Formulas
		It is necessary to draw structural formulas for organic compounds because in most cases a molecular formula does not uniquely represent a single compound.
		Different compounds having the same molecular formula are called isomers, and the prevalence of organic isomers reflects the extraordinary versatility of carbon in forming strong bonds to itself and to other elements.
		In condensed structural formulas the bonds to each carbon are omitted, but each distinct structural unit (group) is written with subscript numbers designating multiple substituents, including the hydrogens.

		The main task of qualitative organic analysis is known to be the determination of the chemical composition and the structure of an unknown compound.
		The problem solving is transferred into the space of structural isomers, the families of which can be generated, in principle, from given molecular formulae fitting into the molecular masses.
		This dependence was used for spectral filtering the molecular formulae generated from a given molecular mass.

		The molecular formula can be very useful in solving problems where you need to try and figure out what the structure of a molecule is given spectroscopic information.
		Note that the carbons cancel out so the formula is really comparing the number of hydrogens in a hypothetical molecule (the fully saturated, non-cyclic hydrocarbon with n carbons) and the actual molecule.
		The rational for the formula is that for every ring or pi-bond you remove two hydrogens from the alkane.
